No. 1 agents of the waving agents (Example 148) were coated to hair and spread by combing and the hair was formed to the straight shape. Then, the hair was left for 10 minutes. After that, No. 2 agents was coated to hair and spread by combing, further left for 10 minutes. Finally, rinsesd and dried using a dryer.

In a Case of Curling Type Permanent Wave

No. 1 agents of the waving agents (Example 149) was coated to hair and spread by combing, and the hair was wound to a rod and left for 7 minutes at room temperature. Then No. 2 agents was coated by an applicator and left for 7 minutes. Repeatedly, No. 2 agents was coated by an applicator and left for 7 minutes. Next, the rod was removed, and the hair was rinsesd and dried using a dryer.
